Скачать или смотреть What Is Repentance? Paul Washer Versus Ray Comfort

What does the Bible really mean when it says, “Repent and believe the gospel”? Does repentance mean turning from sin, cleaning up your life, or committing to moral reform? Or does it mean something deeper — and far more freeing?

In this video, we explore the biblical definition of repentance from a grace-based, faith-alone perspective. We show from Scripture that repentance — translated from the Greek noun metanoia and the verb metanoeō — literally means a change of mind, not a change of behavior.

Too often, repentance is misunderstood as a precondition for salvation that involves turning from sin or reforming one’s life. But this is not how the New Testament consistently uses the word. Instead, we demonstrate that repentance is a change of mind about God, sin, and especially Jesus Christ, which leads directly to faith in Him.

🔍 Key Highlights in this Teaching:
The original Greek meaning of metanoia and metanoeō

Why repentance is not the same as turning from sin or doing good works

How Acts 26:20 clearly distinguishes repentance, turning to God, and works

Examples where repentance is paired with faith, not with behavior (e.g. Mark 1:15; Acts 20:21)

Why adding behavior to the definition of repentance undermines salvation by grace through faith alone

How repentance and faith function together in the gospel message

We also answer objections and explain how this understanding of repentance fits seamlessly with justification by faith alone, as taught by Jesus and Paul. If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether you've repented "enough" or if your repentance was genuine, this video will give you the clarity and assurance the gospel was meant to provide.

Discover the biblical meaning of repentance — and how it leads not to fear, but to faith and freedom in Christ.
